About the Game
A dark-fantasy, round-based FPS for 1-4 players featuring tight gunplay, hordes of demonic enemies, and an arsenal of spells and abilities.
Reignite an ancient conflict between earth and hell as one of the Blood Reavers - cursed warriors wielding guns, magic and more. Rediscover the forgotten history of your order, delving into secrets that will help you end the demonic invasion.

Gather your friends and take on the forces of hell. Play solo or in a squad of up to 4, driving back the demons and uncovering mysteries left by the ancient Blood Reavers.

Harvest your enemies: Harvest the blood of demons to fuel your abilities. Grab increasingly powerful weapons and upgrade them with Blood Infusions to ensure you aren't overwhelmed.
Create devastating synergies: Combine utility spells, lethal abilities and powerful ultimates to blast, burn and slice your way through the endless horde. Switch out your spells on the fly and never be caught off guard.
Master forgotten magic: Get up close and personal with Blood Magic, warp time and space with Ethereal Arts, or tap into into the realm of the Forbidden - twisting foul demonic energies against their own masters.

Everything you love about wave shooters: Tight gunplay and movement mechanics, unlockable in-wave upgrades - now expanded with magical abilities, upgrade crafting, and long-term progression.
In-wave progression: Reveal cards from the Deck of Fates to bolster your body and mind. Offer your weapons to the Blood Infuser to enhance them with special powers. Grow in power and hope to outlast the horde.
Discoverable content: Hunt for secrets and easter eggs to uncover the dark, rich lore behind the world of Blood Reaver. Delve into mysteries that will take you deep beyond the gates of hell... and perhaps ever deeper.

Use the materials wrested from your demonic foes to upgrade your spells and equipment. Create formidable variants of your abilities, and carry newly crafted relics into battle to turn the tides against the minions of the apocalypse.

Fight your way across a dark fantasy world as you search for the secrets to halting the demonic invasion. Each map features unique mechanics and challenges, blood magic abilities, legendary weapons, and special enemy types.

Major Milestone 1
First Major MilestoneWelcome, Reavers, to the grim machinations behind Blood Reaver's first Major Milestone! To celebrate, we've got some upgrades to your melee arsenal, including a new fate and an improved melee weapon. Very useful, should you find yourself in close quarters with our new enemy, the Feral Demon.We're also thrilled to present our first ever Easter Egg! This has been one of our most requested features since entering Early Access, and represents a new phase of development as we bring Blood Reaver closer to our final vision. Read more below:KEY FEATURESNarrative Easter Egg: Bartov's FollyThe fractured genius Edward Bartov sought to harness the unnamable power of the Vecipher in a final attempt to stay the demons' advance. His plan ended in catastrophe, ripping open a portal to hell in the dead heart of the Reavers' fortress.Search through Bartov's notes. Complete his final works. Seal away the corruption that has taken hold of the Vecipher. Blood Reaver's first Easter Egg represents months of work and passion from the entire team. We sincerely hope you enjoy the experience.New Enemy: Feral DemonFast and ferocious, the Feral Demon charges down its prey, closing the distance with a terrifying lunge attack. Keep them in check or risk being overwhelmed. A new special wave will spawn a pack of howling Ferals to hunt you and your allies. Clearing the wave will grant you a free Restock.ADDITIONAL FEATURESNew Melee Weapon: MaceAvailable as a wall buy, the Mace is a strict upgrade for your standard melee attack. Grab one today, and introduce evil to medieval. New Fate: WarriorThe Fate of the Warrior enhances the damage you deal with melee attacks, making you a potent force in close combat.Alongside the update, we're deploying a number of additional bug fixes and improvements to the game. Development is ongoing, and we're constantly aiming to improve the game's stability and performance.

Monthly Update 3
Explosive ExpositionIn this update, we're releasing a treat for the loremongers among you: the Codex has finally been retrieved from the archives (it was on the top shelf), and is packed full of information for those who've been wanting more insight into the world and story of Blood Reaver. Meanwhile, for those who'd rather Reave than read, we're giving you the opportunity to get permanently barred from the library with two new and highly explosive weapons.Codex: The Codex has been unearthed from the dusty archives of the Scholars' sanctum, and is now available to study from the main menu. In it, you'll find descriptions of weapons, enemies, abilities and Fates, as well as scraps of information about the history of the Reavers and their eternal war against demonkind. Entries will mostly be unlocked through gameplay, but you'll want to stay watchful for loose pages as you move about the map.New Weapon: MinotaurA devastating weapon which launches an explosive projectile capable of incinerating whole clumps of demons at a time. Not recommended for use in close quarters, but don't let us tell you how to slay. If the Minotaur's destructive power is somehow not enough, the infused version gets truly absurd.New Relic Weapon: Weeping DragonA second Relic Weapon to join the Crystaline Agitator - the Chaos Demon's cannon-arm, ripped away and repurposed by the Blood Reavers. Launches a ball of blood-magic-demon-magic chaos death at anything unfortunate enough to be within range. A monstruous tool for levelling the horde. As with the Minotaur, you'll want to keep your distance from the blast.Check out the full patch notes below!Patch NotesContent:New Gun: MinotaurNew Relic Weapon: Weeping DragonNew System: CodexGeneral Balance:Decreased Swansong min splash damage 1500 - 250Decreased Swansong max splash damage 1500 - 750Increased Swansong impact damage 1000 - 1250Increased Swansong Crit+ impact damage 1000 - 1750Decreased Chaos Demon health cap 300,000 - 250,000Improvements:Adde...Read full article on Community Announcements (bloodreaverbuild)Patch NotesOfficial
